"During the Bosnian War in the early 1990s, the combatant Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) adopted a policy of genocidal rape and forced pregnancy to “plant the seeds” of ethnic Serbs in Bosnia and weaken the ethnic Bosniak bloodline (Weitsman, 2008). In response to this crime, the 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court formally recognized genocidal rape and forced pregnancy during conflict as a crime against humanity" (Para 7).

"Even in the highly conservative region, abortions across the Balkans are legal up until the tenth or twelfth week of pregnancy, owing in part to pre-existing laws from the former Yugoslavia which permitted the procedure up to this deadline (Rašević, 1993). Article 191 of the Federal Constitution of Yugoslavia stated that, 'it is a human right to decide on the birth of children,' thereby enshrining abortion access as a fundamental human right (Znaj znanje, accessed 2022). The open availability of abortion in Yugoslavia meant that nearly 100 percent of abortions in the Federation occurred in medical facilities and death rates for patients were nearly nonexistent (Rašević, 1993).

This research reveals a number of problems with access. For example: Abortion for non-medical reasons is not covered by health insurance and prices vary wildly in different areas; Misoprostol is not registered, so medication abortion is rare; Some clinics have a lack of resources/staff and very few people are offered counselling support (only 3% of those surveyed); Doctors can (and do) refuse to provide abortions, and the rules on ‘conscientious objection’ are not consistent across the different areas of the country.
